Find out in this report how the two Data Visualization solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The alert generation feature also helps in sending out ad hoc messages to the business users if business thresholds have been crossed."
"Great for handling complex data models."
"It's quite easy to learn and to progress with SAS from an end-user perspective."
"What I really love about the software is that I have never struggled in implementing it for complex business requirements. It is good for highly sophisticated and specialized statistics in the areas that some people tend to call artificial intelligence. It is used for everything that involves visual presentation and analysis of highly sophisticated statistics for forecasting and other purposes."
"Visual Analytics is very easy to use. I use Visual Analytics for all the typical use cases except text mining. I used it to analyze data and monitor statistics, not text mining. I also use it for data visualization as well as creating interactive dashboards and infographics."
"The technical support services are good."
"It integrates well with SAS, making it simple and quick for developers."
"It provided the capability to visualize a bunch of data in an organized way."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"The product's initial setup phase was simple."
"I appreciate Spotfire's range of visualization options, advanced analytics features, and seamless integration with other TIBCO products."
"The out-of-the-box features are simple and easy to use across the board."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The solution is an affordable one."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The charts and tables could use better sorting, primarily using other variables than the ones on the figure. If they could implement views like in the older version (previous to Viya), it would be very nice."
"The licensing ends up being more expensive than other options."
"I haven't come across any missing features."
"Colours used on report objects"
"The reason we haven't rolled it out across the board is due to the fact that the licensing is so expensive."
"A bit more flexibility in the temperatization will be helpful."
"There is a need for coding when it comes to digital reporting which can be intimidating."
"The product is expensive and needs the integration of more languages."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
"The handling and consumption of realtime data could be improved."
"We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
